Longevity is having a moment on social media right now with Silicon Valley paying teenage boys to have blood transfusions, experimental peptide injections, and all the predictable skin lasers and fillers. Most of these experiments will be useless, some will be harmful, but perhaps a few will actually work. Dr. Stephen Krichevsky joins this week’s podcast to help us separate the signal from the noise.

Listen and learn:

• What we can learn about aging from yeast, worms, fruit flies, and mice
• Does starving yourself really extend your life?
• What about NMN and rapamycin?
• Why stable weight might be more important than being thin as you age

Most of us have a bucket list of things we’ll do once we grow up, after the kids move out, once we’ve retired… or someday. The problem with someday is that we don’t know when or if it will ever come, and more importantly, why wait? Most of life’s richest experiences don’t cost very much at all, and most things you could start to experience immediately.

Listen and learn:

• How to find joy in everyday moments
• Why doing things you suck at but enjoy can unlock amazing experiences
• How your lowest lows can turn into peak experiences
• How to start if you’re currently time and/or financially poor

Hip pain ranges from minor pinching felt during squats to excruciating pain that causes you to limp or even need the support of a cane. Like all joint injuries, the process of diagnosing and treating a hip injury is often long and circuitous. Do you need surgery? Physical therapy? Will the pain ever go away? In this week’s podcast, you’ll meet a physiotherapist who focuses specifically on hips.

Listen and learn:

• What femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is and what it might mean for you
• Why you should forget quick fixes and focus on a six months plus healing journey
• Realistic options for post-hip replacement exercise and sport
• Why labrum tears are so common in the general population and are usually asymptomatic
